Really...? I don't care what you do with the $1, but DO NOT EVER waste cream cheese by smearing it onto anything but bowls, casseroles, or cookie base! You don't have half an idea how wonderful that dairy product is! You could bake some cheesecake with it!

But seriously, don't. That'd be a total waste of an otherwise good ingredient.
Anyway. Turns out that the person I contacted is neither Japanese nor is he living in Japan. It was a misunderstanding... so I suppose yeah, I think I'm going to hitchhike on your plan if you don't mind. Just be reminded that there's no need to have it delivered by end of January and that you have much time. And I wouldn't really get my hopes up; it's true that there's no knowing until you see it yourself in one of those conventions, but I'm still going to assume that the Meowjesty is Japan-exclusive and I rest my case.
I think the entries will be up in 13 or 14 hours or so, yeah. And you know what? You can try to enter, too! There might not be enough time for graphic design, drawing, or writing, but there certainly is for photography. It has to be Christmas-themed, but it's not like there's shortage of Christmas-themed scenery in town, especially in the States. And as for the competition... considering there are many talented artists here and photography falls under the same category as that of drawing, I'm expecting it to be quite stiff, alright. But we'll see! Hopefully I can garner some votes with my photograph.
Sure, my FC is 3909-8854-5397. And you know what? I'll leave my 3DS up and running and connected to the Internet for the next... probably 7 or 8 hours, so that we can register each other's Safari.
So you think the Pokemon, storyline, and region itself are subpar, huh? Well, I can agree with you on the former (I'm never really into Mega Evolution, actually), but I personally think the storyline is quite cool (Lysandre and his ideology, at least in Y, are very Hitler-like) and the region is pretty great in my book (especially that majestic penultimate route leading to Snowbelle). I wish there were more dungeons, though, just like B2W2. And for some reason, I'm fond of the Pokemon League (it's a friggin' castle!) and the Elite 4 themselves...
